Description

From acclaimed visual artist Julian Rosefeldt, MANIFESTO features two-time
Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett in 13 distinct, must-see vignettes that
incorporate timeless manifestos from 20th century art movements. From
anchorwoman to homeless man, from Pop Art to Dogma 95, a chameleonic Blanchett
gives a tour-de-force performance as she transforms herself like never before.
Rosefeldt weaves together history's most impassioned artistic statements in
this stunning and contemporary call to action.

Written and directed by Julian Rosefeldt, MANIFESTO features Cate Blanchett
playing a variety of characters whose dialogue is taken directly from famous
art-world manifestos. Performing these ‘new manifestos’ while inhabiting
thirteen different personas – among them a school teacher, a puppeteer, a
newsreader, a factory worker and a homeless man – Cate Blanchett imbues new
dramatic life into these famous words in unexpected contexts.

Critic Reviews:

“There's something increasingly mesmerising about Julian
Rosefeldt's tran­slation of his own 13-screen gallery piece to
cinema.” – Time Out

“You may not know much about 20th-century art manifestos, but you'll
know what you like with Cate Blanchett's stun­ning turn as 13 wildly diverse
characters who explore them in Manifesto.” – Toronto Star

“Cate Blanchett's for­midable shape-shifting skills have found their
ideal collaborator in German artist and filmmaker Julian Rosefeldt.” –
The Sunday Age
